An inspiring book about the power and the passion of science

Few have weighed in on the nation’s contentious debate over evolution as effectively as Kenneth R. Miller. In Only a Theory, Miller-the highly regarded scientist who offered expert testimony at the 2005 trial over the teaching of evolution in Dover, Pennsylvania-eloquently shows how “Intelligent Design” collapses at the very moment one begins to take it seriously. Miller shows that the attack on evolution is a broader assault on the skepticism and reason that have fueled America’s remarkable scientific advances, and offers an encouraging prescription for how we can save the nation’s “scientific soul” to which we owe so much.

” Demolishes the assertions of advocates of Intelligent Design.”
–The Baltimore Sun

” A grass-roots defense of good science education . . . a useful overview of a perilous political attack on the nature of science.”
-P. Z. Myers, Nature

” Powerfully argued . . . Miller’s perspective as a devout believer will allow his case to resonate with believers and non-believers alike.”
-Francis Collins, Director, the Human Genome Project
